someone was able to edit the admin info. I checked with other whois tools and the SEA e-mail address is all over the place.... However I'm not sure they were able to do more than that...
PyPy does, but I don't think that the RPython translation and compilation layer knows about the numpy semantics, so I don't think that helps RPythonic make extension modules.
To be honest, for the target audience of this book, CUDA is the only thing that matters right now. OpenCL and DirectCompute will possibly be significant in the future if AMD and Intel can catch up with NVIDIA in GPGPU performance.
Here's a question you might be able to answer... what exactly do Nvidia cards do better than AMD cards? In the bitcoin and litecoin worlds, Nvidia is horribly outclassed for hash algorithms like sha-256 or scrypt. In the gaming world it's closer, but ATI's 79xx series still wins. (Especially when you consider in the cases a single 7970 isn't enough, which is true for several games, you can get 2 7970s for less than the price of a GTX Titan and win that way. Or a single 7990.) 32bit and 64bit floating point benchmarks favor AMD, the openCL Sala and Room benchmarks in Luxmark favor AMD... (Not exactly fair for that one since it's not CUDA, but the difference is enough that a performance boost from CUDA likely wouldn't close the gap.)
I suspect Nvidia's advantage is their proprietary software like PhysX and other software used in high-end computing or scientific-computing, and possibly they scale better (or simply there are Nvidia-supported solutions) when you want to add dozens of cards together. Is this the case? Because I don't see how one can claim AMD needs to "catch up" in performance if you're looking solely on a card-by-card basis.
Don't disagree with you overall, but I do have one nitpicl. There is nothing proprietary about the Boost license. Boost license is quite similar to MIT license.
About the N9, there is almost no relationship between Meego+Maemo hybrid on N9 and Tizen, except for use of the Linux kernel, despite some claims otherwise. APIs and most of the libraries appear to be very different. For example, Qt was the primary native API the N9 but is not supported in the official SDK for Tizen. Tizen is instead supporting Bada's native APIs.
Further, the critically acclaimed UI on the N9 was a proprietary solution developed by Nokia and Tizen has a different user interface.
Right, hence why it's taken this long to get a new version up and running. Jolla (Sailfish) imost resemble Meego the most since it's virtually the same team.
The submitted title is somewhat non-sensical. Google Now smartphone makes it sound like there is a company/team called Google Now building a smartphone.
Which BLAS though? The reference BLAS implementation? That will have terrible performance. Would be interested to see if something better like ATLAS or OpenBLAS can be compiled for it. Recent versions of ATLAS do work on ARM Linux, so wondering if those can be easily ported to Android.
I signed up during a 25GB free deal they had a while a go. I use it along side Dropbox and Google Drive and as far as I can tell it's as good as either of those.
Have you tried downloading back your files? Is it as seamless as Dropbox?
The other day I signed up with SpiderOak (over the recent buzz about security and all) and luckily I had to share a folder with a friend in another country. He has the fastest bandwidth available but complained that his connection would drop during the downloads out of SpiderOak. I switched the content to Dropbox and he downloaded trouble free in one go.
I got my Z10 yesterday and I can confirm that the phone (and all the gestures) are completely usable with just one hand.
The phone size was selected pretty intelligently. I don't think the UI design would have worked with a bigger phone.
If you don't mind me asking, what platform were you on before? I'm considering ditching my iPhone for the Z10 as I'm so tired of Apple. I really miss the unified inbox in BlackBerry world and the hub sounds promising. App selection is not that important to me.
I was using galaxy s2x. A variant of s2 with a 4.5 inch screen. That was hard to use single handed. This is my first blackberry so no idea how it compares with previous blackberry handsets.
Sorry to single you out for this question, but you're the first person I've seen who actually has one. Does the unified inbox thing support RSS? The concept seems great, but without RSS support it isn't that useful to me.
